Shower tray repair in Harpur, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Harpur
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Harpur
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What affects the price in Harpur
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Most customers in Harpur get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Harpur, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
